It is!!

LOL I didn't realize how I felt about eye contact and how uncommon it is, until I moved to CA. Been here for 2 years and it still freaks me out sometimes. :|

Where else would it be? ;)

OMG I still think it's odd that people out here call SF "the city", but I've found myself doing it lately. What's become of me? ;)

Colorado is pretty damn close. The mountain bike and the pony tail you see a lot of there. Cannot wait to get back.



:DColorado IS really close! Anyone interested in buying my $3K Serrotto Fierte?;) With the headless drivers down here in South Florida, there's no way I'll get on my bike:ph34r:

Very tempting! How much. I'm more interested in getting my snowmobiles back. But a nice bike has got me thinking to.



$2K and it's yours, but it was custom built for me...5'9"-5'10"...you can adjust some but not all of it.

Shuffleboard? More like Bingo and casino boats and as far as hurricanes...looks like the prediction is that they are heading northbound this year...towards South and North Carolina:S
